How competitive is Teach for America?

Of course I went to a Tier 2 ranked school instead of a Tier 1 ranked school so I could have got rejected because or the amount of applicants applying from Tier 1 schools(Which is probably going to happen a lot more in my future).

Isn’t that a shame? Graduates from Tier 1 schools doing Teach For America because of the competitive marketplace - some of whom were misled about their potential income after undergrad. This is not a knock on Teach for America; it’s a great program. But certainly not one that provides monetary compensation that many Tier 1 school graduates need in order to pay back their $200,000 debt.
